Hi all, in this model there are some pretty spots that lead to pillowing when printed. I read that pillowing is fixed by adding more layers/infill but I don’t see how that would make a difference in spots like this.

Would I just have to increase the space between letters to prevent this? Also, is there a rule of thumb to identify and prevent spots like this?

Settings:
Printer: X2D
Slicer: Bambu Studio
Filaments: Sunlu PLA (white), Overture Matte PLA (Pink)
Nozzle: standard .4, bed temp 55c
Speed: standard
Retraction: .8 mm and 30 mm/s for main extruder used here

Hi all, I printed these two files the same day and got completely different results. Both of them were printed with the face shown laying flat on the plate.

In the first picture there are no gaps between filaments and extrusion was excellent. In the second picture, there are gaps between layers and some under extrusion.

These models were downloaded from Makerworld. The only thing I changed was on the second picture, I made the yellow part flush with the pink surface.

I have two guesses as to why they are so different. First I think that the first layer settings from the designers are way different. The first layer for the first picture took a long time to print compared to the second picture. What settings do I need to compare between the two designs to confirm this?

Second, is the difference in filaments used. For the first picture is all Sunlu PLA. In the second picture the pink filament is overture matte PLA, and yellow is Sunlu PLA.

I’m leaning more to first layer settings though because the yellow PLA showed the same issues as the pink PLA despite being different brands.

Settings:
Printer: X2D
Slicer: Bambu Studio
Filaments: Sunlu PLA (white, black, yellow), Overture Matte PLA (Pink)
Nozzle: standard .4, bed temp 55c (same on both prints)
Speed: standard for both
Retraction: 30 mm/s for main extruder, 20 mm/s for aux extruder (only used for yellow PLA)

This is the one for me because it puts his mindset and skill in full display. Ref didn’t blow the whistle? Down player in the way? He is going for it.

At least Mascherano used to take ownership for losses. Idk wth this is. Anybody have seen a different version? Didn’t even show the reporters asking anything.
